Hold on, what color Soylent are we talking about? Is it the delicious, definitely only plants, green flavor?

Sure, in the most dystopian way possible.

CTE.

Don’t try to get philosophical about this. There is a hard difference between copying a brain and actually transferring consciousness.

Oh at this point it seems like we’re treating dystopian science fiction as a guidebook instead of a warning.

This could help a lot of veterans and football players too

You do not die every night.

That’s not what he means and you know it.

As long as it’s made mandatory to cover with insurance so it’s available to everyone. The last thing we need is an immortal ruling class.

This would do that.

The UI and perk system is actively hostile to playing the game. It was one thing when you could always try to pick the lock in Skyrim and the more locks you picked the better you got. Now you must take the perk and it’s a requirement to pick locks before the next perk.

You cannot even craft or use core gameplay mechanics without perks. Booster pack? Perks. Targeting sub systems? Perk. (Which is hilarious because it’s in the tutorial mission and they just hard coded the event ship not to blow up. So until you visit the Internet you don’t actually know how to board other ships)

Out post building is ridiculously complex, resources take up a bajillion spaces in your inventories, there’s no guidance on production chains, and basic resources aren’t even on the same planet. So you’re back to just buying resources to get it off the ground and why are we even building an outpost again?

To be fair, the story, the fly here, shoot this, listen to story parts of the game are fine. But literally everything else around it is made as obtuse as possible because yes I want to go through a loading screen every time I need to access my main stash.

As some one said when it released. It’s Fallout 4 in space. But if all the ancillary stuff was made 100 percent more inconvenient.

I tried to check in last week. My computer made it one hour before shutting down due to heat. It runs everything else just fine. I can’t be interested if I can’t even play the game.

Corporations. Are. Not. Your. Friend.

This message courtesy of corporations rent seeking on public infrastructure our economies cannot survive without.

We need to stop buying into this whole beneficial corporation idea.

Oh that already happened too. A bunch of blind people got implants and the company abandoned them.

Versa is 18k, we’re not nearly there. As far as the supply of used cars, there will be two things. First, forced switchover to electric will mean every gas car that leaves the road will not return without a lot of time and money to convert them. Second, when the cost of cars rises and supply restricts that means the used electric cars will see their price rise too. But you’re right that in the medium term used cars will keep us going. It’s the decade plus period that’s an issue, where supply constricts further and prices rise out of where most consumers can reach.

I wish but no. American Ego will see to that.

There’s an inherent problem here.

He is actually behind the game on self driving taxis. Hell everyone except the big car manufacturers are behind the game for one simple reason.

The second it’s actually feasible Ford, GM, and Stellantis are going to stop selling to rideshare and rental companies. They will offer their own services with these cars. Even personal vehicles are going to shoot way up in price and will only be available on a rental basis to normal people. Actually owning your own car will be a luxury that only the upper class can afford. 90% of America will wake up and catch their scheduled Ford Share Commute (15% off if you agree to ride with strangers!) to work.

Tesla has always been in a race with the big 3. That’s why they message on self driving so incessantly even though they don’t actually have it yet. But you know who’s already doing trust trials? GM, they own Cruise. Tesla is going implode when they officially lose this race. We’ll also all be the poorer for it because it will be more expensive than owning a car.

If you want to make a million dollars easy, look into the possibility of the world’s most basic, power nothing, battery electric vehicle with an emergency generator. Whenever this hits (it depends on a couple tech and trust breakthroughs) those things will sell faster than they can get made. And it would absolutely poison pill the business plan the Big 3 are working on together.

People keep making the mistake of thinking the super rich have loyalty to a country.

Oh good we finally trained them enough. Can we please get rid of captcha now have the next portion?
